THIS  book  is  devotedly  dedicated  to  my 
beloved  wife,  Zola,  who  during  her  brief 
stay  on  earth  was  an  inspiration  to  all  who 
knew  her,  and  whose  rare  judgment  and 
untiring  interest  made  possible  from  its  incep- 
tion this  recognition  of  the  noble  -womanhood 
of  our  state.

Explanatory 

FOR  the  most  satisfactory  arrangement 
of  the  photographic  reproductions  in  the 
compilation  of  this  work,  the  author  had  in 
mind  the  ultimate  pleasure  of  all  the  sub- 
scribers. To  this  end  it  was  imperatively 
necessary  to  observe  two  salient  features: 
first,  the  size  and  location  of  the  cities  rep- 
resented, and,  second,  the  alphabetical  order 
and  size  of  the  engravings,  Therefore,  it 
will  be  noted  that  the  volume  is  divided 
into  six  sections,  each  comprising  the  photo- 
graphs from  that  particular  locality.

Publisher's  Note 

compiler  of  this  volume  desires 
•*•  to  express  his  gratitude  to  the  Press 
throughout  the  State  and  to  the  prominent 
men  and  women  who  have  assisted  him  by 
contributing  to  its  accomplishment,  and  who 
by  their  generous  efforts  have  enabled  him 
to  present  a  more  comprehensive  view  of 
the  individuality  and  activities  of  Colorado 
women. 


alk  about  a  woman's  sphere, 
As  though  it  had  a  limit ; 
There's  not  a  place  in  earth  or  heaven, 
There's  not  a  task  to  mankind  given, 
There's  not  a  blessing  or  a  woe, 
There's  not  a  whisper,  yes  or  no, 
There's  not  a  life,  or  death,  or  birth, 
That  has  a  feather's-weight  of  worth, 

Without  a  woman  in  it." 

— BOWMAN. 


R.  James  Alexander  Semple, 
president  of  The  Alexander 
Art  Publishing  Company,  has 
prepared,  with  uncommon 
care  as  well  as  artistic  photo- 
graphic felicity,  the  following 
admirable  series  of  the  Repre- 
sentative Women  of  Colorado. 

I  have  been  requested  to  write  the  pref- 
ace, introduction,  or  opening  pages  of  the 
alluring  volume.  The  task  is  pleasurable, 
and,  under  the  circumstances,  not  m  any 
way  difficult. 

It  is  timely  and  commendable  that  a 
book  of  this  character  should  be  given  to 
the  country.  The  women  of  Colorado 
hold  an  unique  position  before  the  world. 
They  have  the  ballot,  a  privilege  denied 
their  sisters  of  most  other  states  and  other 
lands.  That  they  have  exerted  the  unusual 
power  of  suffrage  with  marked  intelligence, 
wisdom,  and  tact,  is  best  demonstrated  by 
the  steady,  healthful  growth  in  population, 
in  material  prosperity,  and  aesthetic  uplift, 
that  today  characterizes  the  commonwealth. 


In  no  other  part  of  the  world  is  woman 
so  important  a  factor,  in  town  and  country, 
state  and  nation,  as  in  the  Rocky  Mountain 
West.  Here,  she  truly  and  naturally  devel- 
ops, politically,  mentally,  socially.  Here, 
her  genius,  her  taste,  her  perception,  her 
tenacity,  her  intuitive  grace,  her  romance 
even,  has  ample  opportunity  to  express 
itself,  finding  its  logical  fruition  in  the 
great  field  of  Life. 

George  Eliot  declared  that  the  happiest 
women,  like  the  happiest  nations,  have  no 
history,  which  is '  true.  The  compiler  of 
this  volume,  therefore,  makes  no  attempt 
at  biographical  sketches,  but  presents  sim- 
ply the  attractive  portraits  of  the  Represen- 
tative Women  of  Colorado,  many  of  whom, 
however,  have  writ  their  names  large  in 
the  quiet  history  of  the  state. 

Many,  too,  have  attained  eminence  in 
art,  music,  literature,  and  statecraft,  as  well 
as  the  hundreds  of  good  women  whose 
domain  has  been  essentially  the  home,  the 
foundation  of  society,  the  genesis  of  all 
things  beautifully  human. 

Lord  Bacon  said  but  the  truth  when  he 
remarked  that  the  pictures  of  the  world, 
without  the  pictures  of  the  women  especi- 


ally,  would  be  as  incomplete  as  a  statue  of 
Polyphemus  deprived  of  his  single  eye. 

What  is  true  of  the  world  is  true  of  the 
state,  and  for  that  reason,  it  seems  to  me, 
the  maker  of  this  book  has  undertaken  a 
grateful  and  graceful  task  when  he  presents 
in  composite,  concrete,  and  individual  form, 
the  gentle  faces  of  those  who  have  done  so 
much  to  make  Colorado  keep  step  to  the 
advanced  march  of  civilized  progress. 

This  pictorial  rather  than  literary  enter- 
prise, I  am  happy  to  say,  has  the  signed 
favor  and  approval  of  the  most  prominent 
and  notable  men  in  the  community,  who 
have  cordially  encouraged  the  publisher 
to  the  successful  completion  of  his  labors. 
This  is  well.  The  test  of  civilization  is  the 
estimate  of  women,  and  while  the  brain 
woman  may  never  interest  us  as  the  heart 
woman,  for  the  reason  that  her  whole  life 
is  a  history  of  the  affections,  the  fact 
remains  that  she  has  the  same  human  rights 
as  man — the  inalienable  right  to  life,  liberty, 
and  the  pursuit  of  happiness..  These  she 
acquires  with  less  restriction  under  the  tur- 
quoise skies  of  Colorado  than  elsewhere, 
and  for  that  reason  reaches  her  destiny 
quicker.  mt
